The Heartbeat of Shipping Logistics
While shipowners and port operators often grab the attention, the real-time problem solvers—those managing last-minute crew changes, complex drydock overhauls, port clearances, and emergency repairs—are the ship agencies and shipyards.
These are the operations experts who keep fleets running smoothly in the face of delays, compliance changes, and unpredictable seas. They’re the bridge between vessels and port operations, between breakdowns and uptime.
And at TMS Awards 2025, they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve.
Two Categories That Spotlight Operational Excellence
🚢 Ship Agency of the Year
Recognising those who masterfully coordinate port calls, navigate regulatory complexities, and act as critical on-ground partners for shipowners and charterers.
⚙️ Shipyard/Ship Repair Facility of the Year
Honouring the facilities that deliver precision, innovation, and uptime—whether it’s a quick fix or a full-scale retrofit.
Why This Recognition Matters—Now More Than Ever
In 2025, shipping isn’t just about transporting cargo. It’s about delivering value faster, complying with evolving green mandates, and operating with zero margin for error.
Clients today are choosing partners based on performance metrics, sustainability, and digital readiness. That’s exactly what the TMS Awards validates—and why your brand should be part of it.
